This blog is an exploration of life purpose -- why we are here; what matters. It examines the spiritual tasks and truths that help us navigate, to do what we came here to do. Despite our amnesia. Despite pain and fear and loss. In the garden of shadow and light we cling to the day and lose it. This blog is about seeing through the dark.

Number Twenty

We didn't come here for happiness or unhappiness. We came to overcome what's compensatory and automatic: the habitual, corrosive solutions to our pain. We came to lean how to love while every impulse sends us back to the familiar ways. Back to the flaw, the separation, the breakdown where we began to lose each other.
